The Witches of Eastwick
the return of the popular magical musical comedy
At the beginning of October, it will be 20 years since the opening of the Music Scene. The opinions of many naysayers, who claimed in 2004 that the Brno Municipal Theater would own an unused, useless building after a few seasons, seem to be mere smiling memories from today's perspective. Brno's musical scene has already permanently entered (not only) the Czech theater map, and new productions are added to the list of premieres listed here every year, whether they are premieres of original titles or performances of classic musicals. In connection with the celebrations of this anniversary, we decided to return to the musical, which many viewers still remember. Thanks to almost 150 reruns that have taken place since the premiere in 2007, under the name of The Witches of Eastwick, many people remember this production, which brought Petr Štěpán the prestigious Thalia Award for his portrayal of the demonic Darryl Van Horne, rather than the original book or film.
